I, personally, think the answer is (shudder) to error on the long side
with regard to default backlight brightness.  Also to error on the
memory-hogging side with regard to dircache.

I think the best thing to do would be to create a simple "Battery Life
FAQ" in the manual explaining steps users can take to, well, lengthen
battery life.

Ship for UI performance and teach them how to tweak for battery
performance, IMHO.

Agreed, but I think dircache should stay default to off, having it on
will make a pretty slow first boot which is not the first impression
we want to have.
Also, isn't the dircache option really only useful for those of us who use 
the database? I've never fully understood what that option actually does, I 
just no that people who use the database like it.
